Prone Swimmer
Potentially the most important muscle group, the core is composed of all the muscle from hips to shoulders. It effects full body movements as well as maintaining posture throughout movements. The core effects the transfer of energy from the lower to upper body. A strong core improves all aspects of golf from maintaining posture to increasing club head speed as well as helps prevent injuries
Starting position:
Laying on your stomach with arms out over head.
Movement:
Gently bracing the abdominals, squeeze one shoulder blade to lift that arms off the ground while also squeezing the opposite glutes to lift that foot and knees of the ground as well. Head stays on the ground neutral to the spine not over extended. Alternate sides for reps.
Notes: Hold time in each position may vary. Only go in each direction to a comfortable stretch, not pain.
